Public Folders in Office 365

Did anything ever come of this tread?   I have the exact same issue and have been told that MS is pushing people to groups.  They don't work and you can't have subfolders..

We have a large number of Public Folder (more than 5 TB) and we are currently running in a hybrid enviroment with Exchange 2010 on-prem and Office 365.

 

Now we need to come up with a strategy regarding the data currently in Public Folders

We have looked at groups, but since its only possible to have "one folder, no subfolders" in a Office 365 Group, this can not replace Public Folders with this.

 

Then the question is, is Public Folders hosted in Office 365 any good?

And what is the future for Public Folders in Office 365, since Microsoft for many years have been talking about "the death of public folders".

 

Any input on this would be great :)
